MORECAMBE.
-ALL obstacles to the employment of women in men's jobs in the war workshops were removed when the National Committee of the Amalgamated Engineering Union decided, with only one dissentient, to accept the agreement entered into by their leaders with the engineering employers in London recently.
While there was considerable anxiety expressed about what would happen after the war, the conference was reassured by the president, Jack Tanner, who said that the agreement was satisfactory not only to the A.E.U. but to the other unions con- cerned.
He stated that Mr. Ernest | ********
Bevin, Minister of Labour, gave;
a pledge to the conference of Potato Shortage
unions in London that he will do everything in his power to en- sure that the status quo will be restored after the war,
Mr. J. Twaddle (Blyth), nt this point, recalled that Mr. Lloyd George gave a similar assurance during the last war, but that conditions

After a detailed report of the long negotiations which led, up to agreement Mr. Tanner said that, con- sidering the present position, the agreement was quite satisfactory.

Mr. Tanner went further than that, and said that under the agreement all suitable male labour will be utilised before
women are employed. "It is not ikely," he stated, "that a large number women will be put

they will not have the necessary training."
Answering a delegate who suggest-. ed that the employers could drive, a conch and horses through the agree ment; Mr. Tanner retorted: "If our district committees do their work properly the employers will need a tank to drive through it."

In Singapore
THERE is a shortage of potatoes in Singapore due, it is believed, to some dealers not making use of permits to import large quantities or deliberately not executing these permits In order to force up the price.
The Food Controller, it la understood, has begun tak- ing action which may be. come drastic if the steps do not prove immediately effec tive.
It is thus hoped to remedy the situation within a few days.
Japan is still the largest exporter of potatoes to Malaya Other suppliers are Java, China, Burma, Australia, Egypt, and Pale- stinė,
About 1,200 tons of pota- toes are consumed in Malaya every month.
The price of potatoes has increased during the past few days, and in some dis- trlets potatoes have not been obtainable,
